The bullshit thread

[billy the kid]

I thought Id start this thread as there is so much bullshit going around these days.
Heres a couple for starters.....

Part I
Not long ago there were floods in Queensland
Thousands upon thousands of cattle died.
Did the price of meat go up
Yes...lamb went up and the media highlighted it.....today...
The other day two oils tankers were attacked in the ME...on the other side of the fkn world.
Almost immediately the price of petrol goes up in Australia by 25-33% depending on where you buy it.
How does the media report this
Well...they tell us to shop around and buy at the cheapest outlet.
WTF is going on...
Why isnt there a RC into petrol pricing...
Of course this wont happen, because the grubberment want prices to stay high, as they collect
more in GST and fuel excise....
We're being scammed people...fkn scammed....
Part II
The media in Qld is reporting that people are driving off without paying for petrol, and the numbers
are increasing dramatically.
Instead of wondering why this is happening...could it be that we are being scammed.....that wouldn't happen now would it...
No, instead they are using cameras to video the number plates of the offenders....
Well...wouldnt it be an idea to use the practice they have in the USA, and that is to have the customer
pay for the petrol first....you go in, you say you want $30 worth..you pay and you go and pump the petrol.
The bowser cuts out at thirty bucks....simple....
No...we're in Australia....we wouldnt have the fkn brains to work this one out.......

Breaking news...….extra.... extra..... read all about it...…
More dogshit wrapped up in horseshit from Channel 7.....

DID YOU KNOW that if you suffer from acne...well...... help is on the way...
You can now access an app which will help you build up your self esteem..(particularly if you need to be empowered)
all in the privacy of your own home...…to help get rid of your acne....
That's fkn news is it.....
Sounds like bullshit to me......

I think I heard last night that the government rakes in .45c on every litre of petrol.

That would be pretty close to the mark....

[Valkie]

I think I heard last night that the government rakes in .45c on every litre of petrol.

Actually it's higher than that.
It's around 70 to 70 c per litre
And I'm not sure, but I think there is an additional charge for roads added

And here us a kicker
You pay GST on petrol.
So In fact, you are paying tax on a tax.

Back in the 70s, the garages started putting up posters saying petrol $xx.xx plus tax.
I calculated it out then as $0.73 in the dollar.


The grubberment are as addicted to petrol tax as they are to stamp duty.
Two of the most insidious taxes imaginable.

They do and provide absolutely nuffink and yet get a massive income from it.
It's a wonder they haven't sold it off like they did the lotteries.

WE NEED A REVOLUTION

"Foreign Minister Marise Payne is eager see the details of a UN report saying there is credible evidence Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi officials are liable for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Senator Payne says a detailed examination of the report prepared by UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, Agnes Callamard, must come before Australia decides on its next course of action.
"I want to consider that in detail and then to determine steps from Australia's perspective," Senator Payne told ABC's AM on Thursday."

Can someone tell me wtf this murder has got to do with the big heap Payne....

If she is waiting for the details of a report before Australia imposes any type of sanction of Saudi Arabia....does
she think that SA will be affected by Australian sanctions....!!!!

SA couldnt give a stuff about Australian sanctions....they would brush us like a fly on a camels arse…...

In any case Australia has already sold millions of dollars of weapons to SA..that deals been done....
What is she going to do....renege on the deal.....!!!..it was contracted two years ago....
Its common knowledge that those weapons are being used to kill thousands of innocent civilians
in Yemen....and yet we still sell them...is Payne going to suddenly become sanctimonious and
impose sanctions....youre fkn kidding...…countries such as Italy, Denmark, Germany and Finland have already
announced that they would ban arms sales to Saudi Arabia amid the growing human rights concerns...
But we still fkn dither and procrastinate like a bunch of old moles at a christening...
Our politicians are a fkn embarrassment.....

What a load of bullshit...

[billy the kid]

I see the media has reported that a female real estate agent was attacked by two large bull mastiffs during an inspection
at Umina on the Central Coast.
It was reported that there was a "disturbing twist" in the incident.
I am at a loss to understand what the "disturbing twist" was.....
As per usual the vermin media attempt to dramatize/sensationalize the incident by telling us of a "disturbing twist"
Afterwards I believe the dogs were euthanised.
It would appear that the person attacked let herself in...
If she had knocked, the dogs, I presume would have been alerted by the knocking, and perhaps
would have ran barking to the door. Perhaps then, the real estate agent would have hesitated
and perhaps not entered the premises which I presume the dogs were guarding.
The report simply says that she was attending for "a pre booked inspection"
The report states that after hearing what happened, the tenant returned home.
Wouldnt the real estate agency have known that the tenant had dogs....perhaps an assumption on my part.
If the inspection was pre arranged it would have been with the consent of the tenant.
Surely there was knowledge of the dogs and their size...they are not little fox terriers.....
Perhaps the only "disturbing twist" in the incident is the absolute and utter stupidity of the agent
who let herself in......with or without knocking...with or without the knowledge of huge dogs being inside....
Oh and the "disturbing twist" could have been that the dogs were euthanised......
Two dogs are put down because of human stupidity......
The bullshit continues........

Jeez, a lot of morons in the world these days.

My friend had a rent inspection she didn't know about (but that's a different story of bullshit) a couple of weeks ago. She was lucky in the fact that she was out of the house at the time, and had locked her collie in. The rent inspector would not go into the house while a dog was in there, cause that's policy. It's common sense to me, dogs (particularly "alpha" types) are very territorial. But these days seems the mantra is, "I'm going to do something really stupid, I'm human I have rights and when there are consequences I will just blame everybody else."
